    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

I hate to do this but i have asked him to change his ads several times i even told him i would start a BOI and no response:(

The first ad shows he is tryng to trade his male for a Dunner and he is saying it is a hypo trans. The second showes in the pics that the nails are not clear on this male. Him and i talked via text and on the phone trying to work something out with some babys and the male. I am very causious and asked lots of questions and looked at lots of pics. None of his dragons are hypos!! After seeing lots of pics, getting genetics from him and asking quesions he even agreed that the trans and babys wher not hypos!! He also admited he had been confused and was wrong all along. This conversation was on Feb 17th, that same night i saw he had posted about the babys saying they wher hypo trans i asked him to remove all of the posts saying anything was a hypo he removed the one about the babys and this ad is still on saying that the male is a hypo. I sent a pm last night asking him to change it still no change, i told him this morning about it still no change, i even said i would post a BOI, still no change:( This is disapointing but i have asked him to remove thies since the 17th and no removal has happened so hear is the BOI post.
 
Oh and he admited thier is no certificate of proof for bloodline!! Even steven at bloodbank said he had no idea about blood line on this male so i dont understand why spiderman would say he had this?
 
Did you text or e-mail him to take it down? I only ask because (according to his "public profile") he hasn't been logged on since 2/18/12, and at least one way you mentioned telling him was via PM.
 
Yes i have asked him via text 3 times and warned him about the BOI via text. And 1 time through pm.

Oh, ok. I was just going to suggest letting him know about this thread via text, if you had not already done so. Maybe he'll chime in.
 
I hope so he just needs to be honest. Even after i had told them they wher not hypo he posted that they wher. I know for a fact that steven at bloodbank would not sell a a dragon saying it was a hypo if it wasnt, ergo he must have known all along it was not a hypo and has chosen to lie about it for some time now.
 
Also i need to say that sinc he is new to the breeding experience i can somewhat understand his confusion. He stated that he thought because the back of the nail was clear that it was a hypo, he was confused. I do think though that after some one conferms you are mistaken that you change your ads. Espesially after someone asks you several times to do so.
 
I just sent him this text "I did post a BOI as i said i was going to. You are welcome to chime in, perhaps you made a mistake and it can be fixed. Just wanted to let you know"
 
I'm not seeing where a "Bad Guy" thread is warranted here? He has an add with mislabled animals, but he genuinly thinks these Dragons are Hypo as advertised? You admit he still thinks they are indeed Hypo? I personally do not know much about Dragon morphs, but if one person started to complain to me telling me to change my ads because they were wrong, I'm not sure I would just go change them without proof. It should have definitely raised a red flag to him though.

Do you have copies of the texts sent back and forth? How long did you give him to address this issue? Sorry if you mentioned this in the main post. This just sounds more like a miscommunication than a "Bad Guy" thread to me.
 
I do have popys of all the texts. This is a quote "If viens have to be clear that means none of my 3 beardies are hypos not even the breeder" he is talking about the front of the nails and the breeder is the male. we then start talking about the belly of the male changeing color and about the tiger stripes and being translucent Quote "Isnt the belly changing color a hypo trait?" i told him no. Quote " the spikes on him are yellow but look transparent" second message same topic "is that a hypo effect" I said no that is a translucent effect. Quote "Oh a trans effect i was confussed about that" I said ya its ok its confusing a hypo has all clear nails and sent him a pic of my dragon jerics nails and he said Quote "Wow I've been confused this whole time about alot of things. Thanks for the tip" Then on the 18the posted a forsale add about the babys saying they wher hypo trans i texted nicely saying that the posts wher wrong and he should change any posts saying any of his dragons wher hypo. Quote "Thanks for rminding me i will do that in a bit thanks" He did remove the one about the babys but not this one
 
He agrees they are not hypo he agreed to take them off he is still trying to trade a dragon that he knows is not what he says it is for a very expensive morph. It is a bad guy thread because he knows and admits he is wrong but has not made changes and is making a false add trying to make a trade. I am warning people that he is aware he is lying and has not changed the add
 
Ahhh...That helps clarify things. I was unaware that he admitted they were not as advertised. Thanks for the additional info.
 
Interesting because he states in the comments that he's "definitely hypo because he has clear nails."
As a side note, I'm slightly irritated that he mentions he is "practically on hold" but would sell him out from under that buyer for more money. Business is business but I'm not very impressed I suppose.
 
Ya he made lots of statements saying oh i am trading him or he is sold and then it never went through i dont know if it is a way to try to get someone to jump in to a quick deal or what?
 
Response to text quote "i dont have access to edit my posts on fauna so theres no good reson for you to be all up on my business" I would disagree he tried to make a sale to me i descoverd and proved he was not selling hypos. He confermend and agreed. On the 18th he took the posts for sale of the babys off because they wher not hypos why did he not also take the post about the adult male and baby off when he removed the other post on the 18th. I quote my text in response "you removed the post about the babys on the 18th you agreed they wher not hypos. Buy trying to make a deal with me your information about the dragons became my bussiness you can not lie to people"
 
His response is quote " what are you talking about barbie i never edited anything on fauna because i cant. i edited all info on craigslist you have some nerve. Keep that boi up regarding me and ill post a real good one up about you, a breeder who enjoys getting into other peoples bussines constantly" second text Quote "ill let the world know youre complaining because you want me to edit some info wich the website restricts me from doing" 3rd Qoute " I dont purposely try to post up wrong info. Im sorry they wont let me edit it. $th quote "it shouldnt even be your problem its my problem"
 
i believe it is my place to informe people if someone is posting false information with knowledge that they are doing it. And obviously he can take down a trade or sale post because 1 we all can and 2 he took down the ones of the babys from the 18th along with other posts about the male over time. My response quote " would you want some one to not say anything if you wher going to do a trade with someone and they knew the info was false"
 
Ugh quoting is a pain. Just of last conversaitions. He is saying he is unable to change or edit any post and wants me to talk to admin about it so he can do so. I said if thats the truth i will gladly stop this post?

So please administraition is this the truth?
 
He is going on to say that he has not deleted any of his sale posts and has no idea how it could have happened but it is not him.
 
My last text "get on fauna then on to the BOI and lets get it sorted with them then" He said quote " do what you want all your doing is harrasing" and my response " seriously i will back you up. if its because you can not change your posts i will take back everything"
